1Mby1M AI Investor Forum: Nicholas Fok, General Partner, Erez Capital (Part 2)

Sramana Mitra: For those of you who are listening, it’s actually not a bad business to do a wrapper. You can build a business by doing AI wrappers that are specific to a vertical or specific to a use case, and you would find customers. It’s better as a bootstrapped business. VCs are not going to invest in wrappers, because the VC funded company has to go from zero to a hundred million dollars in five to seven years. So, you need a defensible competitive advantage. You need an exit strategy and so forth, none of which are going to be viable with just a wrapper business.
